destroy

void destroy()

Called by the servlet to indicate to a HTTP handler that the servlet is being taken out of service. This method is only called once all threads within the servlet's service method have exited or after a timeout period has passed. After the servlet calls this method, it will not call any of the handler's methods again.$

This method gives the HTTP hanlder an opportunity to clean up any resources that are being held (for example, memory, file handles, threads) and make sure that any persistent state is synchronized with the handler's current state in memory.

Throws:

ServletException
